The 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop coupe is already desire on wheels, but one look at this one, and you can tell it has even more to offer. With all that glittering chrome updated, fantastic two tone paint, custom built interior with A/C, and an enhanced small block under the hood, you know this is the car you've always wanted...and it's turnkey ready today.Ever wonder why you don't see quite as many of these '56 Bel Air hardtops as you do the other two Tri-Five Chevys? Out of this entire legendary series, the fewest amount of these top-of-the-line coupes were produced in this year. But beyond rarer numbers, the '56 is desirable for all of its distinct features. These had some of the boldest trim of the trio and arguably had the best grille of them all. These pieces are particularly attractive on this one thanks to an investment in making sure they have a mirror shine. But the best feature is how the two tone is presented. Only in '56 and only on Bel Airs do you get a color streak that runs the entire length of the car, and in the rear it simultaneously has a sporty descent while also merging with the roof color. You see this exceptionally well on the bold modern blue and pristine white that was chosen for this coupe. But more than a terrific color combo, if the sheetmetal was not straight or any trim was missing, the total presentation would not be nearly as stellar as it is today.One look inside and you are instantly reminded of the large investment in this custom build. It starts with the leather buckets up front. These not only have better bolstering than anything that came out of the 1950s for superior comfort, but they are also power adjustable. The pristine cream color on these front seats is not only shared with the rear ones, but also the custom center console for a nice uniform appearance. Features like the AM/FM/CD stereo, cup holders, and ice-cold air conditioning are great for everyone to enjoy. But in a car like this, the best treats are reserved strictly for the driver. It starts with a steering wheel borrowed from an Impala. This is a cool indication of how thoughtful this build really is because not many people would recognize how well the brightwork in this younger wheel matches the dashboard. Plus, you get a B&M Quick Silver shifter, and ahead of that is a full set of auxiliary gauges, including tach.The Tri-Five Chevys were the dawn of the small block, but they were never given anything like this. It starts with a larger 350 cubic-inch V8 and enhanced with performance components as a Holley four-barrel carburetor. Plus, you'll love showing off the Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock valve covers, and silver painted ram's horn exhaust manifold. This total package makes an impressive howl out of the dual exhaust. But more than just performance, it was built to handle everyday driving with features like a new electric fan so the car can stay cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C running. This is purposely done because this impressive-looking Chevy was built to easily be a highway cruiser with features like the 700R4 four-speed overdrive automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and modern Michelin tires at all four corners.Complete with owner's manual, now you can see this is a true recipe for a car you'll love driving to the shows no matter how far away they are. This cool custom total package is ready to go right now, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
